Tiger talks picks with Love; Begay weighs in

By

Tiger Woods said Wednesday that he’s talked with U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III about the four potential wild-card selections. That didn’t mean Woods was about to reveal any secrets on “Morning Drive,” however.

“I have, yes,” the 14-time major winner said when asked if he’s spoken with Love, who will make his four captain’s picks on Sept. 4. “Am I gonna divulge anything? No. That’s where it ends.”

Since Woods wasn’t dishing, fortunately Begay, a former PGA Tour winner and current Golf Channel analyst, weighed in on the hottest topic in golf.

“What I think is in the best interest of the U.S. side is to find pairings that create good chemistry,” Begay said. “Tiger and (Steve) Stricker have had a nice run. Tiger and (Jim) Furyk have had a nice run. I’d put those two on the team based on performance and leaderboard.

“And I’m a chemistry guy, so Rickie (Fowler) is a positive choice, too.”
